Description

Poland, 1948

Former SOE operative Luba Haas and MI6 agent Natalie Jenkins secretly enter Poland to meet with a sleeper agent and anti-communist insurgents not realizing their mission has been compromised by a mole deep inside British intelligence. Hunted by both Soviet and Polish intelligence services, they attempt a harrowing escape, not knowing whom they can trust as they try to outrun their pursuers.

Inspired by the true events of Poland's anti-communist insurgency, the Cambridge Five spy scandal, and a covert MI6 operation which attempted to roll back communism to the borders of the USSR, Operation Nightfall: The Web of Spies sheds light on a lesser-known story of the Cold War and immerses readers into the shadowy world of counterintelligence and spy versus spy operations.

Critical Reviews

"A Gritty, Complex, Atmospheric, & Uncompromising Read" - BookViral

"A classic spy-vs-spy thrill. With a female-led cast of covert operatives and dauntless agents, this novel upturns worn-out tropes of women in espionage. Combined with a deeply researched plot, this immersive narrative is an accessible glimpse into the daily grind of spycraft within a realistic historical setting. The writing is sensitive and thoughtful, encouraging the critical assessment of modern crises, for a uniquely personal and provocative thriller that unveils the political machinations of the time period alongside the intricacy and suspense of real-world espionage." - Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★1/2

"Tense, intricate, and unflinchingly real; a stunner." - The Prairies Book Review Canada

"Wegener blends history and intrigue in his excellent latest novel, offering a taut exploration of loyalty, betrayal, and the moral grey zones of covert operations. Set in 1948 Poland-a land rife with danger and deception-former SOE operative Luba Haas and MI6 agent Natalie Jenkins are tasked with a covert mission to connect with a sleeper agent and anti-communist insurgents. Unbeknownst to them, their operation has already been compromised by a mole within British intelligence. As Soviet and Polish forces close in, the two agents find themselves trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse, where trust is scarce and survival hinges on outsmarting their relentless pursuers."
